Dec. 13th, 2002 02:57 pmThis journal seems to have become a victim of it's own momentum, or lack thereof. Everytime I start writing an entry, it seems that it has to somehow encapsulate everything I've done in the last two months or so since my last update. It also seems like it has to be really, really exciting, which the last two months haven't really been. Nice and comfortable, yes. Spine tingling adventure, no. So I always start an entry, and become dismayed by the dullness of it, and scrap it. I'll probably do the same with this one. We'll see.
So, lets get the really uninteresting stuff out of the way first. Still at EA. For who knows what reason. My 6 months was up about a month ago. They're steadily whittling down the department though, so I'm sure my time will come soon. And then, who knows what. I'm sure the industry hasn't gotten any better while I've been stuck in neutral here. And my skills are steadily eroding. I was browsing through some old code I had lying around (mainly searching through garbage files for the object oriented perl game of life web page generator I made a while back (I've always been fascinated by cellular automata for some reason)), and it was like looking at something a stranger had written. I'm not really all that worried though, I steadily forget and relearn programming languages as my interest in them waxes and wanes. Were I required to, I'm sure I could pick it all up again in no time flat.
Ok, dullness out of the way. Sadly, dullness takes up at least 6 days out of the week for me, so I'm not left with all that much to recount. I've been watching movies, but none of them are really jumping up and down in my head (except for Two Towers, which was really quite excellent, and I'll save all other commentary for once it's actually been released). I want to go see Adaptation, but it doesn't seem to be playing in the bay area yet. How obnoxious. I wanted to go see Solaris, before it muddled through my head that it was based on the Stanislaw Lem book, and knowing that I think I'll just watch the Tarkovsky version again (that is assuming I ever saw it in the first place. I can't quite remember. I know I watched Stalker way back in high school, and I think I saw Solyaris sometime around there also, but it's not clicking). There's no point in giving my distaste for big budget hollywood any more fuel for the fire.
Blort. Ok, I'm losing interest in updating this now. I think I'll just post it before I have a chance to read it over, decide I don't like it, and just scrap it. Maybe now that I've actually updated, I'll be more prone to update again. Maybe not.
Oh, and is anyone sticking around for Christmas and wants to do anything? I'm going to be housesitting for my mom, while they zip off somewhere, but I'd like to actually see people while I have a day or two off.
